Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present this artistically significant Period Master Engraved Marlin Model 1893 lever-action rifle manufactured in 1902. Chambered in the legendary .30-30 Winchester, this historic firearm features a 26 inch full octagon barrel marked "Special Smokeless Steel." The Model 1893 is a cornerstone of American lever-action history, representing the evolution of Marlin’s side-ejecting "Safety" design into the smokeless powder era.
The firearm is a true canvas of custom work, featuring extensive hand-engraved scrollwork across the receiver, lever, and even the buttplate. The receiver is adorned with a magnificent reverse-relief early hand engraved American eagle vignette, providing an incredible level of visual detail. This steel is paired with a deluxe walnut stock, crescent buttplate, and checkered panels that highlight the rifle's high-grade configuration.
Please note that the firearm is in honest, "well-loved" condition with some handling wear and surface character consistent with an early tool of the frontier. However, the sheer volume of custom engraving and the long-barreled octagon profile make this a premier investment opportunity for the advanced Marlin researcher or collector of unique turn of the century Americana.
